Default Columbian Shark Help Please

Hi there had my Columbian Shark for about 3-4 years now and had no problems with him, no all of a sudden tonight he cannot swim, just floats around, lye's at the bottom of the tank makes a sudden movement then just sinks again. Gills are moving still, very relaxed can place him in my hand and will just lye there.

Any ideas please??

Thank you


Mat

It's a brackish water fish....... at 3-4 years he's an adult now and should have been in brackish water a long time ago. I'd get him into the proper salinity (you're gonna' have to google that) water ASAP!!
